That apart, this recipe is a must try as it is my favourite too! with spinach, carrots, peas, fresh herbs and mozzarella cheese, it is a healthy treat for all. To make this dish even creamier, I have added low fat milk mixed with corn flour.
You can also try making this risotto with just mushroom and mozzarella cheese, for a change. But remember, healthy as it may be, it is still meant to be only an occasional treat and not regular fare for diabetics!

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1/2 cup kodri (varagu)
2 tsp oil
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
1/4 cup green peas
1 tsp chopped garlic (lehsun)
salt to taste
1 cup blanched and chopped spinach (palak) , blanched , drained and finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped basil
2 tbsp finely chopped celery (ajmoda)
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp fresh low fat cream

Method
- It is highly recommended that this recipe be relished by diabetics only occasionally and in small quantities. This is just a mere ‘treat’ and does not qualify for a regular diabetic menu.
- You can cook the risotto till step 4 and keep aside. Continue with step 5 only when ready to serve, else the greens, i. e. , spinach, basil and parsley will discolour.
- Clean, wash and soak the kodri for 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and keep aside.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick kadhai, add the kodri and sauté on a slow flame for 4 to 5 minutes, while stirring continuously.
- Add the carrots, green peas and garlic, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously.
- Add 3 cups of hot water and salt, mix well and bring to boil. Cover and simmer till the kodri is almost cooked, adding a little water if required.
- When the kodri is cooked, add the spinach, basil, celery, parsley, mozzarella cheese, green chillies, cornflour-milk mixture, cream and white wine, mix gently and cook on a slow flame for another 4 to 5 minutes, while stirring continuously.
- Serve immediately.

It was difficult to source kodri, but found it at my local grocery store. Loved the creamier texture of this recipe like a risotto. It''s a one dish meal, but I don''t mind it accompanied with a bowl of soup.
